Mayorkas Clashes with Texas Governor Over Migrant Crisis Management
Originally Published 2 years ago — by POLITICO
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas criticized Texas Governor Greg Abbott's practice of busing migrants to Democratic-led cities as a "failure of governance." Mayorkas highlighted the lack of cooperation with other state and local officials, while cities like New York and New Jersey are adjusting to handle the influx. Federal assistance has been sent to affected cities, and political tensions continue to rise with Republicans pushing for immigration legislation and the upcoming impeachment proceedings against Mayorkas.
